About this event

It has been only 25 years since the World Wide Web appeared as the leading application for the Internet, allowing us to share every aspect of our lives with each other, with our governments, and with the big businesses that have sprung up as part of the new digital world. This evolutionary process is changing society irrevocably in ways it was hard to imagine before, and it’s happening faster than most people can comprehend -- including our politicians, the people who advise them, and captains of industry. It brings with it huge ethical and moral issues around who has what rights to do what with our personal data, how we maintain the balance between digital privacy and security, and how should the internet be governed. This evening with Wendy Hall, one of the world’s leading computer scientists, will look at these issues from a number of different perspectives, including how we got to where we are today, and what the future might hold.
